‘People O V E R Politics w/ Sen. Joe Nguyen

In this episode of ‘The UpNUp Podcast’, Washington State Senator and current candidate for King County Executive Office, Joe Nguyen(@senjoenguyen), brings us into his hard fought journey to truly empower the community and people that’ve helped shape him. From navigating early life as a first-gen immigrant who relied on his community, hard work and determination to go against the status quo, he was eventually able to be elected as the first ever Vietnamese American to serve as a Senator for Washington State, fueled by adding more representation into a system that has historically lacked diversity.

The work continues as he’s currently running for the King County Executive Office position, with a focus and emphasis of putting the PEOPLE over Politics. This story is truly one to keep us all on #TheUpNUp
